But The Apple documentation (https://support.apple.com/en-us/127274) mentions that your iCloud gets synced between both devices, so now I’m confused what the purpose of this is
Two devices running iOS 27 or later that are:
Connected to Wi-Fi
Sharing the same Apple Account
Using Messages in iCloud to ensure messages sync
Signed into FaceTime and iMessage with the same Apple Account
An eSIM from a carrier that supports iPhone Handoff:
USA: T-Mobile
Germany: Telekom
Interestingly, iOS 27 has a new “2 phones can share 1 number and you can swap between them” which didn’t seem to make a lot of sense.
it makes sense in the backdoor sense. esims. so now uncle sam can “be” that 2nd phone.
Uncle Sam could always be that 2nd phone, the network is ridiculously insecure. It’s so well-known, the spooks didn’t even stop Veritasium from making a video on it. Hell, it doesn’t take a state-level actor either, it takes a motivated individual and that’s pretty much all.
What in the what now? Just between apple phones or with android or other OS? Guess I hafta go read…
Haven’t actually tried it but T-Mobile digits supposedly let’s you do what you seek.
New to me, thanks!

It’s so you can buy more phones
Dang, I had other ideas!
